So in this (bullshit) new law, they will keep a record of the websites you visited, but not the pages within those websites.
How is this meant to combat terrorism/crime? This won't change a thing if they communicate e.g. on facebook, in email, etc.

Sure those websites/services have their own safeguards, but I don't understand why internet history needs to be kept for countering crime. If it's for countering child porn I imagine it make more sense, but surely most websites have unsuspicious names and a password system to avoid indexing?

pls halp me understand :<

if i understand correctly the snooper's charter (and that retarded "unconventional" porn law) is just the thin end of a wedge used to slowly implement more and more draconian laws
